G. STEAMBOAT DISASTERS. The laat maila from the v e4 fir iii-h accounta o( Ihe occurrence of several disasters by ?ieambait on lleaie waters, but in only one of which, however, were there any live lost.

('lav, C'bitthui;, ami other diatmguished citi- i4ii as pass timers, struck on so.ne obstacle in the river, supMaHd to ho a annkrn co-i boot. The Captain being on do k al ihe lime, prompliv dire, I, ed ihe boat to ihe K"olu ky shore, where she sunk, but the .pmM-iiger iliaembarked withmil incHive menc. The Sicainbiait Buffalo came ahaig bishi after, and to-, It on board the Detreit'a pawengrra. Sleaara. ('lav and CairrKSDE landed al Mays vifle, where Ihey look stage for home. Anotkrr. The ateamboat Kin, bound up the MiaaisNippi, col lapsed a flue no the 11 th inst., five miles above 81. Louis. The second steward, a black man, wa ao dreadfully hurt that hia life wa deapuird of ; a rrt five children, deck passengers, were eeverry scalded. Two of the latter, one an infant, have aioce (li;d. A black uy, about 1:1 year old, waa also inurt:d so severe that lie died ihe day afterward. JYbo paaengeri unanimotiHly passed resulutions, absolving the officers of (lie boat from all blame. Anothrr. The steanboat Ben Franklin, on her way up from Louisville lo Cincinnati, took fire on tlie night of the 1 6rh ins.," from sparks flying on the hurricane roof. The fire at firet, ia nid to have had quite an alarming appearance, but it waa got uoovr wifhout much damage.- - -: "' "-' "rneaieImTjafTCioee her upward passage to Wheeling, broke shaft on the lStb instant. No other injury sustained. 0C7 We venture to assert thnt after the 1st. of October next, when the Steamboat Act of (Jnngres eoes into operation, there will be fewer disasters.
